Hybrid Power-Signal Backplane Receptacle
The Molex 465629320 is the 35-position member of the EXTreme Ten60Power 46562 series — a hybrid receptacle that carries 30 signal contacts and 5 power blades in a single through-hole press-fit housing. This layout lets one connector handle both the main DC rail and the control/sense lines on a backplane, saving board space over separate power and signal connectors. The 60 A per circuit rating on the power blades means each one is sized for bus-level current, not signal-level trickle; the 600 VAC and 250 VDC dual voltage rating gives it clearance for AC distribution or a high-voltage DC bus.
Press-Fit Termination and Contact Design
Termination is press-fit into plated through-holes — no solder, no reflow profile, just a controlled insertion force that cold-welds the compliant pin to the barrel wall. That makes this receptacle a natural fit for backplane assemblies where solderless assembly, rework-friendly removal, and high-reliability joints under thermal cycling matter.
